Cf. note 2: Ingaevones. Non in ripa. Splendidissima colonia. This flourishing colony had no distinctive name in the age of T.; called afterwards Augusta Vindelicorum, now Augsburg. Passim. Wherever they chose Sine custode. Not so others. Cf. His. 4, 64: ut inermes ac prope nudi, sub custode et pretio coiremus. Cum ostendamus. Cum==while, although. Hence the subj. Non concupiscentibus.
Adversus sitim non eadem temperantia. Si indulseris ebrietati suggerendo quantum concupiscunt, haud minus facile vitiis, quam armis vincentur. XXIV. Genus spectaculorum unum atque in omni coetu idem. Nudi juvenes, quibus id ludicrum est, inter gladios se atque infestas frameas saltu jaciunt.
Guen. understands this of personal filth. But this is inconsistent with the daily practice of bathing mentioned, Sec. 22. It doubtless refers to the dress, as Gr. and K. understand it: nudi ac sordidi==poorly and meanly clad. So also Or. Quae miramur. Cf. 4: magna corpora. See also Caes. On haec, see note, 3: haec quoque. Ancillis ac nutricibus. So in the Dial. de Clar.
Of these it was that Cicero said, in an admirable image, that fools might think to improve on them, but that no wise man would try it; they were nudi omni ornatu orationis, tanquam veste detracta bare of ornament, the dress of style dispensed with, like an undraped human figure perfect in all its lines as nature made it. In his composition, as in his actions, Caesar is entirely simple.
No. 69. Saturday, May 19, 1711. Addison. 'Hic segetes, illic veniunt felicius uvae: Arborei foetus alibi, atque injussa virescunt Gramina. Nonne vides, croceos ut Tmolus odores, India mittit ebur, molles sua thura Sabaei? At Chalybes nudi ferrum, virosaque Pontus Castorea, Eliadum palmas Epirus equarum? Continuo has leges aeternaque foedera certis Imposuit Natura locis ... Virg.
Also Caes., B.G. 6, 21: magna corporis parte nuda. Sagulo. Dim. of sago. A small short cloak. Leves==Leviter induti. The clause nudi leves is added here to show, that their dress is favorable to the use of missiles. Missilia spargunt. Dictio est Virgiliana. Coloribus. Cf. nigra scuta, Sec. 43. "Hence coats of arms and the origin of heraldry." Mur. Cultus. Military equipments.
Sic unum accipiunt maritum, quo modo unum corpus unamque vitam, ne ulla cogitatio ultra, ne longior cupiditas, ne tanquam maritum, sed tanquam matrimonium ament. Numerum liberorum finire, aut quenquam ex agnatis necare, flagitium habetur: plusque ibi boni mores valent, quam alibi bonae leges. XX. In omni domo nudi ac sordidi, in hos artus, in haec corpora, quae miramur, excrescunt.
Ad verba, cf. note, His. 1, 16: ne fueris. The emphatic word always stands between ne and quidem. Superest. Is over and above, i.e. abounds. So superest ager, Sec. 26. Vel. Pro sive, Ciceroni inauditum. Guen. Cf. note, 17. Frameas. The word is still found in Spain, as well as Germany. Lancea. is also a Spanish word, cf. Freund. Nudi. Cf. Sec. 17, 20, and 24.
This is a mere supposition without regard to fact; that implies an expectation, that the case will sometimes happen. Cetera intecti. Uncovered as to the rest of the body, cf. 6: nudi aut sagulo leves. Totos dies. Acc. of duration of time. Agunt==vivunt. Fluitante. The flowing robe of the southern and eastern nations; stricta, the close dress and short clothes of the northern nations.
These words involve a sentiment of great importance, and of universal application. Good habits wherever they exist, and especially in a republic, are of far greater value and efficacy than good laws. XX. Nudi. Cf. 6: nudi aut sagulo leves. Not literally naked, but slightly clad, cf. Sen. de benef. 5, 13: qui male vestitum et pannosum vidit, nudum se vidisse dicit. Sordidi.
